Truth To Power | Highights from Bluegrass VegFest | Adriena Dame | Scrumptious Self-Care | 8-9-24

This week on Truth to Power, we bring you the final highlights from our live broadcast from the 5th Annual Bluegrass VegFest held on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Forward Radio was a proud media sponsor of this year’s VegFest, providing wall-to-wall live coverage. Tune in for a sample of Kentuckiana’s Largest Vegan Food Festival - a free public event produced by Bluegrass Veg, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, featuring 30,000 sq ft of marketplace halls at the Mellwood Art Center. Learn more at https://bluegrassvegfest.com In this sixth hour of our broadcast, we spoke with Forward Radio volunteers who were enjoying meeting people at VegFest and we shared with you the final keynote and cooking demo, featuring Adriena Dame, the former owner of LOVAFARE, a vegan cafe that once nestled in the Highlands, serving up scrumptious plant-based delights (healthy, gluten-free, soy-free, low-glycemic, primarily oil-free). Hearty bean-based LOVApatties and sandwich spreads/sauces were their specialties. Desserts became neighborhood favorites, and they made a mean Sassy Kale Salad and Nacho Feast. Her lively talk is titled “Sexy Systems + Lemon Blondies: A Healer’s Quickie Guide to Scrumptious Self-Care Solutions.” Adriena is the founder of HighVibe Mettaverse, where people come for deep and abiding expressions of loving kindness through bodywork, energy healing, intuitive readings, and vitality coaching. HVM is also home to Louisville’s only Thai Metta Bodywork Academy; HighVibe School of Integrative Massage & Bodywork, which is a pre-licensure program for aspiring massage therapists, and a variety of continuing education and personal growth workshops. The company serves a national and international audience using virtual platforms. On Truth to Power each week, we gather people from around the community to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city! It's a community conversation like you won't hear anywhere else! Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at https://forwardradio.org
